    Not found. The nearest classical line is Disticha Catonis I.3 ('Virtutem primam esse puta compescere linguam: proximus ille deo est, qui scit ratione tacere'), which praises silence but lacks Tolstoy's 'though he is right'; not recorded as the source, since the match is too loose to call a candidate.

    Searched: Ramage, Beautiful Thoughts from Latin Authors (tacere, silent, compescere); Southgate's Many Thoughts of Many Minds (silent, hold his tongue, keep silence); recall of the Disticha Catonis.
