"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. ... corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
EDIT: Apparently there is a serious question as to weather this quote is correctly attributed (see the comment made on this post). Though I found it attributed to Lincoln in more then one place, the Internet is never the most trustworthy source, so I am striking the attribution.
