You can find this fun quotation puzzle, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications. I challenge us with the best ones out there.
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.

Solve it in
4 minutes is good
3 minutes excellent
2 minutes superior
90 seconds amazing
About 1.5 min. Interesting puzzle this morn, 3 letter words are not the most common.
‘Bout 90 seconds.
1st letter 1st word.
Grammar and letter frequency gives word 3, which (after a sec) gives word 2.
And gives word (the *other* 1-letter word).
Word 11 is now filled out. That and letter patterns gives you then end of word 10; which gives you all of word 10, and that by grammar tells you word 9.
And from there word 4 drops into your hand; which gives words 5 and 7.
Then it’s just mopping up.
You two should get on the same page

My bad.
No good or bad involved.
Just something that needs straightening out.
The work of both of you is appreciated
I noticed it was the same puzzle too.
Rerun?
Common letter, and words 5, 14 help
and the contraction, of course
