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.

A man worth listening to.
Joe Biden, recently: CEXULV YTEJPCFV isn’t running the show anymore.
Wanna bet?
Not Berle.
Biden is the King of EVYXFUELV !
Some of these are too easy. Second word leads to the first, then straight to the first name of the source.
Image speaks truth, and yet, I know plenty of seniors who STILL have big mortgages! Not talking about people in their 60’s, but people in their 70-80’s!
I tend to shop fsbo’s owned by people who are looking to downsize, and quite a few of them are still mortgaged.
Cute!
As someone who didn’t get any stimulus checks, and holds more dollars in bank deposits than the FDIC insures, I don’t have any doubt about that.
A quote that is evergreen.
Six drops of the Essence of Terror,
Five drops of Sinister Sauce ...
When there’s too much CLVJN there is never enough of it.
