Summary
This quote implies that even when someone or something alters their appearance or tries to disguise themselves, their true nature or character remains unchanged. It highlights how covering up or pretending may not affect one's inherent qualities or tendencies. Thus, it suggests that one's true essence or behavior cannot be easily changed or concealed, akin to how a wolf can change its physical appearance with its coat, but it does not change its inherent nature as a predator or its predatory instincts.
