1. When remaining silent is a fault

    One should not at any time tolerate blasphemy and insults against Lord Visnu or His devotees. A devotee is generally very humble and meek, and he is reluctant to pick a quarrel with anyone.

  2. An invitation from Srila Prabhupada

    Everything within this material world will be destroyed, and therefore one should use everything for good purposes.
