"A leopard doesn't change its spots."
The phrase “a leopard never changes its spots” means that it's impossible for one to change their character, even if they will try very hard. The expression, sometimes also used as “a leopard can't change its spots”, is used to explain the idea that no one can change their innate nature.
This expression means that a person will stay true to their nature. They are who they are and cannot change -- even if that person claims otherwise. We often use this expression when talking about someone who says they have changed their ways.
