Word of the Day for Wednesday March 13, 2002:

indomitable \in-DOM-ih-tuh-buhl\, adjective:
Incapable of being subdued or overcome; unconquerable.

Now, late in his career, when he could no longer pull off
all of the individual moves that had once set him apart, it
had become increasingly obvious that what had distinguished
him was his indomitable will, his refusal to let either
opposing players or the passage of time affect his need to
win.
--David Halberstam, [1]Playing for Keeps: Michael Jordan
and the World He Made

Because of his strength and toughness as well as his
constant attention to the welfare of his army, his soldiers
affectionately called him Old Hickory. Hickory was as tough
a substance as they knew, and General Andrew Jackson was,
in their minds, indomitable.
--Robert V. Remini, [2]The Battle of New Orleans
