Words of Upliftment
In Cryptography teasers, a phrase or expressions has been encoded in some way (frequently by replacing letters with other letters). You need to figure out the encoding method and then decode the message to find the answer.

| You translated wrong! You made it Earcus Garvey... notice the k is the second to last letter of "started", etc.

| Nice quote but I took the hint too literally so I thought you were shifting the substitution each time a letter was used. (Nothing like making it really hard!) I guess I lacked the confidence and patience to do the simple substitution.. nice quote .. guees I haven't read him much..Thanks for the time and message .. your hint was a neat twist! (I like being tricked) .. I'm feeling more confident already!  |

| You know this wasn't a bad teaser. I got it right the moment I looked at the hint. However, you made a small mistake when you translated the name of the author of that quote. Once I realized who the author was, Garvey, I just googled his quotes on confidence. |

I was about to say the same thing. Phew. Glad I didn't mess up! Hahaha.
Not a bad teaser anyways. Nice quote. |

| Oh, but that person who said "You translated wrong! You made it Earcus Garvey... notice the k is the second to last letter of "started", etc." was also wrong. "j" was the last letter of "started". But 'k' WAS the last letter of "have". |
