The origin of the proverb "a leopard cannot change its spots" comes from the Bible, specifically the book of Jeremiah (13:23), which states: "Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?" The proverb serves as a reminder that people's core characteristics often remain the same, regardless of external efforts to change them. It highlights the idea that fundamental aspects of a person's identity are deeply ingrained and not easily modified.
