Hadith Qudsi 22:
On the authority of Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:
Let not any one of you belittle himself. They said: O Messenger of Allah, how can any one of us belittle himself? He said: He finds a matter concerning Allah about which he should say something, and he does not say [it], so Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says to him on the Day of Resurrection: What prevented you from saying something about such-and-such and such-and-such? He say: [It was] out of fear of people. Then He says: Rather it is I whom you should more properly fear.
It was related by Ibn Majah with a sound chain of authorities.

We should InshaaAllaah speak up if we see something wrong, e.g. A Muslim woman/man reading horoscopes in the newspaper on the train/bus; we should give naseeha to them, explaining why it is wrong to read them, and the consequences of reading them.
Never be afraid of how people will react - at least on the Day of Judgement, you will be able to say to Allaah that you did your duty and informed them. InshaaAllaah. =)
