Here are a few of his quotes... Feel free to use them on a sign. You can also watch this video montage set to an excerpt from his speech, "Beyond Vietnam":
http://www.bushflash.com/mlk2005.html

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death."

"The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today is my own government."

"The chain reaction of evil--wars producing more wars -- must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation."

"Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows."

"The bombs in Vietnam explode at home; they destroy the hopes and possibilities for a decent America."

"Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal."
~Martin Luther King, Jr.
