Do not underestimate the determination of a quiet man.
Meaning of the quote
This quote is telling us that we should not think a quiet person is weak or without strong determination. Even if someone doesn't show their strength or goals openly, they can still be very determined to achieve what they want. We shouldn't judge a person's abilities just by how they act on the outside.
