[H3] This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.

[H3] Statesmen are not called upon only to settle easy questions. These often settle themselves. It is where the balance quivers, and the proportions are veiled in mist, that the opportunity for world-saving decisions presents itself.
~Winston Churchill, 1948, The Second World War

Winston Churchill understood that scientific and mathematical thinking were not abstract pursuits. They were essential to national survival and progress. During the Second World War, he championed radar, codebreaking, and technological innovation that relied on the work of mathematicians and scientists.
The Tizard Mission: The Churchillian Gamble
The year 1940 was Britain’s "Darkest Hour." Winston Churchill knew that without a technological miracle, the U-boat blockade and the Luftwaffe would eventually strangle the island nation. In a move of unprecedented trust, Churchill authorized the Tizard Mission to bring Britain’s most precious secrets to the United States. The centerpiece was the resonant cavity magnetron, a device capable of generating high-power microwaves that could detect objects at vast distances.
When the British mission arrived, they did not find their most effective partner in the halls of the Pentagon, but in the private laboratory of Alfred Loomis. Recognizing the magnetron]

[IMG: Winston Churchill strongly supported the use of intelligence and irregular warfare during the Second World War. Under his leadership, Britain expanded clandestine operations through organizations such as the Special Operations Executive (SOE), created in 1940 to conduct sabotage, espionage, and resistance operations in occupied Europe. Churchill famously instructed SOE to “set Europe ablaze,” reflecting his enthusiasm for unconventional warfare against Nazi Germany.
Women became some of SOE’s most effective field agents. Many were recruited because they could move with less suspicion in occupied Europe and often possessed valuable language skills or family connections on the continent.
Violette Szabo was one of the most celebrated agents of Britain’s Special Operations Executive operating in occupied France. Born in Paris to a French mother and British father, she was perfectly bilingual. After her husband, a French Foreign Legion officer, was killed at the Second Battle of El Alamein in 1942, she joined SOE in 1943.
She parachuted into France twice as an SOE courier. On her second mission in June 1944, shortly after D-Day, she was captured after a fierce gunfight with German troops while covering the escape of resistance members. She was later deported to Ravensbrück concentration camp, where she was executed in February 1945.
She was posthumously awarded the George Cross, Britain’s highest civilian gallantry medal.]

Graham Sutherland’s Portrait
Art
The portrait is a remarkable example of modern art. It certainly combines force and candour.
Winston Churchill, 9 Nov 1954, Westminster Hall, London

[H2]
Painting
Painting
I cannot pretend to feel impartial about the colours. I rejoice with the brilliant ones, and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns. When I get to heaven I mean to spend a considerable portion of my first million years in painting, and so get to the bottom of the subject. But then I shall require a still gayer palette than I get here below. I expect orange and vermilion will be the darkest, dullest colours upon it, and beyond them there will be a whole range of wonderful new colours which will delight the celestial eye.
Winston Churchill, Jan 1922, ‘Painting as a Pastime’, Strand Magazine

Russian Barbarism
Russia
It would be a measureless disaster if Russian barbarism overlaid the culture and independence of the ancient States of Europe.
Winston Churchill, 21 October 1942, The Second World War IV

[H2]
Russia
Russia
I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma: but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest. It cannot be in accordance with the interest or the safety of Russia that Germany should plant itself upon the shores of the Black Sea, or that it should overrun the Balkan States and subjugate the Slavonic peoples of South-Eastern Europe. That would be contrary to the historic life-interests of Russia.
Winston Churchill, Broadcast from London, 1 October 1939

Consequences

The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences.Winston Churchill

[H2]
Scientific Progress

It is arguable whether the human race have been gainers by the march of science beyond the steam engine. Electricity opens a field of infinite conveniences to ever greater numbers, but they may well have to pay dearly for them. But anyhow in my thought I stop short of the internal combustion engine which has made the world so much smaller. Still more must we fear the consequences of entrusting to a human race so little different from their predecessors of the so-called barbarous ages such awful agencies as the atomic bomb. Give me the horse.Winston Churchill, 10 July 1951, Royal College of Physicians, London

[H2]
Truth is Incontrovertible

‘United wishes and good will cannot overcome brute facts,’ Churchill wrote in his War Memoirs. ‘Truth is incontrovertible. Panic may resent it. Ignorance may deride it. Malice may distort it. But there it is.’Winston Churchill

[H2]
Vice of Capitalism

‘The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.’Winston Churchill, House of Commons, 22 October 1945
