"Why not? 'Horrid! Don't you love deceit?" "I detest it from my soul." "Indeed!" said Lady Delacour, still speaking in the same low, soft, unnatural voice: "then why do you practise it, my love?" "I never practised it for a moment I am incapable of deceit.
"set it down before the fire only what would have become of me while it was thawing? It's no wonder though! By the time I've been buried as long, I shall want thawing too!" The wine, however, turned out more satisfactory to the palate of the toper than to his nostrils which in truth, so much had he drunk that day, were at present incapable of doing it justice and he set himself to enjoy it.
At times I was quite incapable of any exertion, and could not attend to any thing, being hardly able to sit upon my horse for half an hour together. From the 25th to the evening of the 30th, we were engaged in travelling from Mount Arden to Depot Pool, by the same line of route by which myself and the native boy had returned from our exploration.
We have no desire to dwell on all the details of their struggle, which continued for fully twenty years. His activity was incapable of exhaustion; in Ossory, in Leinster, in Connaught, his voice and his arm were felt everywhere. But a divided authority was of necessity so favourable to invasion, that the Danish power began to loom up to its old proportions.
I never saw a German prisoner who was except for the intervals when battle kept the food waiting at the rear away from his mouth, though some who were under-sized and ill-proportioned looked incapable of absorbing nutrition. In order to make them fight better they had been told that the British gave no quarter.
Alexius had been taught by experience, that the formidable cavalry of the Franks on foot was unfit for action, and almost incapable of motion; his archers were directed to aim their arrows at the horse rather than the man; and a variety of spikes and snares were scattered over the ground on which he might expect an attack.

He was appointed major in the National Guard, although he was utterly incapable of giving the word of command. In 1815 Napoleon, always his enemy, dismissed him.
The animal to be admired is not that which runs in herds, the gentle browsing deer or foolish sheep thinking only as a fraction of the flock, incapable of personal independent direction. It's the lonely prowling lion or the big black leopard with the whole world for his private field that is worth looking at.
I do mean that there is an idea that the best of life is for all; and that if there are many that are incapable of entering into it, then they must be helped to be capable. And I mean, furthermore, that this idea works irresistibly. It commands the support of the whole army of interests.
It must be confessed that the heart of the great theologian and jurist seems to have somewhat failed him after his arrest, and although he was incapable of treachery even if he had been possessed of any secrets, which certainly was not the case he did not show the same Spartan firmness as his wife, and was very far from possessing the heroic calm of Barneveld.
