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.
Have fun with today’s cryptogram and have a TERRIFIC TUESDAY.
Well, son of a gun.......
That’s quite a name !
Like Soros.
Yes, a French man. I like him because he saw politics as a chessboard for powerful players, rather than as a struggle of ideologies or a means for achieving worthy goals
Boy! Does that picture ever fit the saying.
The structure of the last name was what got me started.
KS TND CKMHR, NBW AWKAHW PMW AWKAHW. NBW HWPRWMD PMW HTXPMRD. NBW AWKAHW BPNW NBW HTXPMRD PSR NBW HTXPMRD MGHW NBW AWKAHW. — RKGVHPD PRPUD TS “BTNZBBTFWM'D VGTRW NK NBW VPHPQE”
Solution to previous puzzle (select the yellow text with your cursor to read):

Yeah, I got the author first, in fact that was my first guess, and it just went easy from there.
You win the thread!
Yeah, I’m not going to try to pronounce his name in polite company.
