If an ass goes traveling it will not come home a horse.

Summary

This quote means that no matter how much someone may change or try to present themselves differently, their true essence will always be revealed. It implies that pretending to be something or someone else does not change who you truly are at the core. Just like an ass cannot transform into a horse simply by traveling, individuals cannot change their fundamental nature through superficial actions or attempts to deceive others.
