KEYWORDS: todayscryptogram
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.

Here’s a CG that you should almost be able to solve word for word, left to right.

It’s one of those quotes that you think is informative and inspirational until you realize who the author is.

I agree. It’s a very true quote but I don’t care for the author AT ALL.

Like principles, they are subject to change.

Did you see the video of him talking with Colbert on the Late Show about Vaccine Science and the Wuhan Lab Theory?

No, but I can imagine.

He has nothing good to say, either of them, about common conservatives and both blame Trump for everything.

About four minutes. I started with the last letter of the first contraction, and then the second two-letter word. I then assumed the last letter before the apostrophe, and then added the most common letter. The rest fell into place after that.
