"Let this affirmation be our ringing cry...Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but bends towards justice." Martin Luther King Jr. 

 

"Agape means understanding, redeeming good will for all men. It is an overflowing love which is purely spontaneous, unmotivated, groundless and creative. It is not set in motion by any quality or function of its object. Agape is disinterested love. It is an entirely "neighbor-regarding concern for others," which discovers the neighbor in every man it meets. If one loves an individual merely on account of his friendliness, he loves him for the sake of the benefits to be gained from the friendship, rather than for the friend'sown sake. Consequently, the best way to assure oneself that love is disinterested is to have love for the enemy-neighbor from whom you can expect no good in return, but only hostility and persecution." From an Experiment in love, Martin Luther King Jr

 

"Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education." Martin Luther King Jr

 

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor, it must be demanded by the oppressed. Martin Luther King Jr
