The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.
One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.
Another quickie from The Arkansas Gazette (don’t have any idea regarding their choice of author.)

Truman Capote is not the author of today's puzzle. This only illustrates the additional quote below.
"There are more tears in response to answered prayers than unanswered ones." - Same Author as Today's Puzzle
Most common letter and DH opened it for me.
You have any idea why this author is being featured again?
the authors of quotation puzzles kick up interest in solving them by sharing bon mots of wisdom they’ve found. To have been canonized represents wisdom. This saints’ popularity has been sustained. Wisdom is fear of the Lord.
About a minute.
Most common letter, word after the dash, author’s name.
Be strong, don’t hide in your interior castle.
I started with the common letter, which got me the word after the hyphen. The rest came easily after that.
