“Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I, To mourn, and murmur and repine, To see the wicked placed on high, In pride and robes of honor shine. But oh, their end, their dreadful end, Thy sanctuary taught me so, On slipp'ry rocks I see them stand, And fiery billows roll below.”

“In a changing world, some jobs disappear and new ones are created. That's how it has been for hundreds of years.

The EU can also better utilize its investment and social funds to protect its citizens from swift changes.”
