Árbol que nace torcido, nunca su tronco endereza

This proverb suggests that a person's character or bad habits are impossible to change once they are established. It is the equivalent of saying a leopard cannot change its spots. (It shares a meaning with another common phrase about someone born with a big belly never being able to flatten it, even with a girdle).

Look, do not waste your time, árbol que nace torcido, nunca su tronco endereza. Also: Even if you insist, remember that árbol que nace torcido, nunca su tronco endereza.
