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.
If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

If you want on or off the daily cryptogram ping list reply to this post and state your intention: ON or OFF.
This quote is so very famous, when I applied most used letter, it only took a couple of key words to pop out and I knew the author and most of the quote. The rest was easy to fill in………. Think the queen of the Nile.
The key was NOI and UOI.
Author
THe quote makes me think that beauty sometimes comes with age.
Perhaps that is often the case.
But in this instance it is often debated what the author meant by it. I remembered discussing it in a class and it was pointed out by some that it was only in the eyes of the guy in love with her, and you know who he was, and you will remember what happened to both of them, neither ever had the chance to grew old.
I tell this to my wife during moments of intimacy. And I mean it.
