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.

The rest of the quotation: Goodness is the only investment that never fails. If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

There is still some goodness and DLFVZPAFV places left here on the 3rd rock from the sun, if we can just save it from the destruction of the liberals.

I see where Al Gore is at it again. He want’s Western Gov’ts to sink trillions of dollars into trying to control the weather and global temperatures etc.

Man has minimal influence on what is going on right now on this planet. This doesn’t mean that we should stop protecting our environment, but it’s not the USA who is destroying and polluting.

Nikos, you are right.

“Trying to control the weather” is more of their PLAYING GOD. Just like when they think they can change their gender from that which they were born with. The angel Lucifer thought he could be God too, and look where that got him!

Pretty much what you posted.
3 min.
Fight with the contractions first; that gives a bunch of 1-, 2-, and 3-letter words, then the author.

After that it’s mopping up.
