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 Marvelous Monday.

Unfortunately for our author there are other laws he is now all too familiar with.
Let’s do the math:)
29 letters in the alphabet (21 consonants and 5 vowels).
Websters dictionary has about 470 thousand words!
Where is Albert Einstein when you need him?
One of your consonants is used as a vowel in today’s puzzle. That was a major clue for me.
You are right and that’s why I was thinking it ironic that this “liar” would be the author of a quote about lies. LOL
“Lie” is such a harsh word. Let’s just say you gotta Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive.
Sounds like the way Datsun announced those Infinity cars back when.
