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."
