“Freedom of mind is the real freedom.
A person whose mind is not free though he may not be in chains, is a slave, not a free man.
One whose mind is not free, though he may not be in prison, is a prisoner and not a free man.
One whose mind is not free though alive, is no better than dead.
Freedom of mind is the proof of one's existence.”

“On the 26th of January 1950, we are going to enter into a life of contradictions. In politics we will have equality and in social and economic life we will have inequality.
In politics we will be recognizing the principle of one man one vote and one vote one value.
In our social and economic life, we shall, by reason of our social and economic structure, continue to deny the principle of one man one value.
How long shall we continue to live this life of contradictions?
How long shall we continue to deny equality in our social and economic life?
If we continue to deny it for long, we will do so only by putting our political democracy in peril. We must remove this contradiction at the earliest possible moment or else those who suffer from inequality will blow up the structure of political democracy which this Assembly has so laboriously built up.”

“अज्ञान की भाँति ज्ञान भी सरल, निष्कपट और सुनहले स्वप्न देखनेवाला होता है। मानवता में उसका विश्वास इतना दृढ़, इतना सजीव होता है कि वह इसके विरुद्ध व्यवहार को अमानुषीय समझने लगता है। यह वह भूल जाता है कि भेड़ियों ने भेड़ों की निरीहता का जवाब सदैव पंजे और दाँतों से दिया है। वह अपना एक आदर्श-संसार बनाकर उसको आदर्श मानवता से आबाद करता है और उसी में मग्न रहता है। यथार्थता”
