- “मायासृष्टीत जोवर मनुष्य आहे आणि गाय, बल पशू आहे, तोवर माणसाने त्याच्याहून सर्व गुणांत हीन असलेल्या पशूस देव मानणे म्हणजे मनुष्यास पशूहून नीच मानण्यासारखे आहे“ – As long as humans exist in this world, and cows are mere animals, it is like considering humans lower than animals by worshipping those animals as gods.

- “आपले भाग्य मनुष्य स्वतः घडवतो, ईश्वर नाही” (Aaple bhagya manushya swatah ghadavto, Eeshwar nahi) – Humans create their own destiny, not God.
- “तुम्ही माझी मार्सेलेसची उडी विसरलात तरी चालेल, पण माझी जात्युच्छेदक, अस्पृश्यता निवारक, विज्ञानतावादी विचारप्रणाली मात्र मुळीच विसरू नका” – You can forget about my jump in Marseille if you wish, but never forget my thoughts and ideas against caste discrimination, untouchability, and for scientific thinking.
