Below is a proverb that was encrypted using the pangram "THE QUICK BROWN FOX
JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG". Each letter in the proverb was replaced with a
different letter from a word in the pangram that contained that letter. For
example, each letter "E" was replaced by either "O", "V", "R", "T", or "H"
(since "E" is contained in "OVER" and "THE"). Your task is to figure out
the unencrypted proverb.

Solved by starting with the shorter words, especially the last four. Once I
had those, I Googled.
