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.

Guess that means you ARE your own worst......
Always invite your foe to spend the night in YOUR tent.
That way when he has to take a whizz he will raise the tent and ‘go’ outside.
If you don’t let him stay and force him to put up his own tent in the desert, he is liable to come over and whizz INSIDE your tent.
Not that bad, about three minutes. Look for most common letter, then follow the yellow sick toad...
Not that tricky, most common letter, a stab at the first two-letter word and it was done in under 2 minutes.
Great quote, by the way!
