Notepad: Each clue in this crossword has one incorrect letter. First, replace it with the letter it should be. Then answer the corrected clue. For example, the first clue, "Something fooling on a summer's day," should be "Something cooling on a summer's day" (with the "f" becoming a "c") - leading to the answer BREEZE. Write that in the grid. When all the clues have been answered, the 24 replacement letters (for example, "c" in No. 1), in order from first to last, will spell a quote from Aristotle.

"Change in all things is sweet." — Aristotle
