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.

Fastest one I ever solved. But I have to admit that I have heard this quote before.
I think I will now go for a walk in the woods, and drop a stone on the trail and see if it changes everything.
Single letter, then PEE (the word, not the action), first word, then off to the races.
I used to speak his language.
It was the first language I learned.

Too smart for me.
What do you think would effect it the most?
A stone or someone peeing in it?
If you get the first word the, answer comes quickly.

I forgot to start my stop watch :( It was fast, probably under a minute.
