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.
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.
TELL ME AND I FORGET, TEACH ME AND I REMEMBER, INVOLVE ME AND I LEARN. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

Same author: Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
I agree: Letter frequency is the key to this one.
Cute. I heard that aphorism as "I hear, I forget. I see, I remember. I do, I learn."
Got this one fairly easily. When I think of Ed Ames, I think of his appearance on Johnny Carson.
Can't say I have personally heard any of his works but ADM Stockdale was a GREAT fan.
all external events are beyond our control; we should accept calmly and dispassionately whatever happens. However, individuals are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline.

HEAR -Don't touch that stove
SEE -stove looks ok to me.
DO -Burn badly after touching stove
. note to self 'they were right, Don't touch that stove'.
UNLESS, of course, one is a 'slow learner'.
Or inquisitive, then one must see if that paint is really wet or what happens when you enter the exit door etc etc....
Hopefully by then one is a 'fast(er) learneR

HE IS A FINE YOUNG MAN, PERSONABLE, ARTICULATE- BUT, ALAS, HE WILL SPEND HIS LIFE PULLING ON DOORS MARKED PUSH.
Yes, that was classic.
Experience is a tough teacher. The exam precedes the lesson.
Do you remember what Johnny said afterwards?
Yes. Classic Johnny..
