Impassible

“Impassible” (im-PAS-uh-bul) – from the Latin – means (1) not showing feeling or (2) incapable of suffering.

Example (as used by Ulysses S. Grant in Personal Memoirs): “As he was a man of much dignity, with an impassible face, it was impossible to say whether he felt inwardly glad that the end had finally come, or felt sad over the result, and was too manly to show it.”
