I searched to find a old thread about MLK day, to bump in his honor today but somehow they all had conflicts. Here are a few memorable MLK quotes to not argue about.

-"We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."
===
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."
===
"If we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective."
===
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." (IIRC I heard President Kennedy say something very similar, perhaps goes back to Brit poet John Donne's "No man is an Island").

"We must come to see that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience."
