Let me know if you want on or off our “almost” daily puzzle. Today’s quote is by another famous American. Inventor, scientist, politician, ambassador. Should be easy for you cryptogram sharks out there.

Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn.

Attribution to yesterday’s quote to Lincoln seemed suspiciously on the nose — as so many quote attributions to Twain are. Sure enough:

corollary: the best way to discover the past is to invent it — nikos1121

just kidding :) - I was disappointed too. Please cite sources for quote, e.g. Lincoln’s inaugural.

Working older puzzles. This one took over an hour.

The key was figuring out the fourth word (three letters). It is made up of the letters used in the second and fourth two-letter words, so figuring it out figures those out. That then opens up much of the other words.
