A book I read some time back had this quote in it. It was an imaginary conversation between the founder of Buddhism and Jesus. I thought that it was a pretty good quote.
"One cannot sacrifice truth at the altar of respect. To be sure truth doesn't eliminate respect. But respect should not be an end in itself." p. 81 The Lotus and the Cross by Ravi Zacharias
I hope that this is an encouragement to you not to back down when the truth needs to be said. To temper your use of the sword of truth, also remember the following quote by the same man.
"One cannot communicate the Love of Christ in non-loving terms." p. 150 The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel.
