@Poli: can it a negative meaning?
This saying means that people don't change and that they constantly shows his/her main personality features. (It can have a positive or negative meaning.)
A E. Scrooge lo visitó un fantasma para que festejara la navidad, pero a la mañana siguiente, seguía siendo un avaro. Genio y figura hasta la sepultura.
E. Scrooge was visited by a ghost so he'll celebrate Christmas, but the next morning he was still as stingy. He persisted in being what he was.
