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.

With some mixing of metaphors and sayings.
Thanks.
Obscure source, but very nice sentiment! Well done.
I really struggled with this one today. Great quote, though.
Huh?
Another toughy!
Now that it’s the next day.
Barren ground on the top.
On the bottom, AL Capone said, “You’ll get more with kind words and a gun than with kind words alone.”
