Who is the author of the idiom the leopard doesn't change its spots?

∙ 14y ago
This phrase came from one of Rudyard Kipling's Twice Told Tales. These are children's stories with morals. They are all quite funny, but they do make a point that the kids remember. This one was about a leopard who took off his skin and had no spots, but still acted like a leopard and pounced on the other animals. Thus, "a leopard doesn't change its spots" means that you don't change your basic personality just by changing your appearance.
