The usual phrase is "Still waters run deep."

Seriously people... it DOESN'T mean that "silent people have the deepest character". It's a saying, you have to go even further with symbolic meaning.

It means that sometimes people (quiet, shy) behave in a way you would never expect them to.

Quiet people are often found to have profound insights

This typically means that a quiet, thoughtful, controlled person has more depth of character than someone who is noisy, overly-excitable, and bounces from one thing to another constantly.
