Does this really match?

I don't know Slovak, but I've found a meaning of a similar Czech proverb,
https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Czech_proverbs
Tichá voda břehy mele.
Translation: Silent water grinds the banks.
English equivalent: Still water runs deep.
Meaning: "Slow but steady work can achieve much." or "That a man says little does not mean that he does not think profoundly."

and I'm not sure it means the same thing.

Russian proverb has quite a strong negative connotations of me, i.e. "a quiet person can create a lot of problems", "if something looks quiet, it doesn't mean it won't be of a problem". And Slovak looks much more neutral than that — or am I mistaken?

That's true, it doesn't match Russian sentence. Unlinked.
