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.
A quote from a person I think you are all familiar with.
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

Excellent clue!
Looked for and found the common definite article of three letters, got the author, and filled in the rest...

I’m ok with this assertion.
Yeah, I enjoyed the contrast between the two parts of the quote, and your clue vs mine 😝
I thought the juxtaposition was perfect.
