Usually the name of the person who the quote comes from is at the end. Or is this a folk saying and no one knows where it came from?

Ah, it is MY quote. It will be a little more difficult. Key small words should get you going, especially with that cryptogram helper thingy.

XJL occurs twice in the cryptogram. Since “The” is the most common 3 letter word in the English language,

My first deciphering is:

X IS T
J IS H
L IS E

We can then replace every occurence of those letters in the cypher and continue working from there...
