Here's another easy one...
The wise man is sure of it.
The foolish man knows it.
The rich man desires it.
The greatest heroes fear it.
Yet cowards would die for it.
What is this thing?

Now here's one for you...
What do you kill that never dies,
What, though wingless, often flies,
What is watched, unseen by eyes,
What could it be, you dare surmise?

If a man carried my burden,
He would break his back.
I am not rich,
But leave silver in my track.

A snail.
Whoever makes me, sells me.
Whoever buys me, doesn't need me.
Whoever needs me, doesn't buy me.

Some people are like a slinky. They might not be good for anything, but its fun to watch them tumble down stairs. &&

Now, what is visible, yet untouchable, totally weightless, yet if put in a box, makes the box lighter?

If you break me
I do not stop working.
If you touch me
I may be snared.
If you lose me
nothing will matter.

A fragment of heaven,
Though it reaches the earth.
Some say it has value,
But for others, no worth.

Still haven't figure out that last one though.
Can I sneak in another riddle anyway?
I go around in circles
but always straight ahead.
Never complain
no matter where I'm led.

Here's a famous one everyone should know...
An eye in a blue face
Saw an eye in a green face.
"That eye is like to this eye"
Said the first eye,
"But in low place,
Not in high place."

There is a most ferocious beast we could not live without,
It grows and reproduces but it cannot fear or doubt,
Air it breathes and Food it eats, but drink, it never can,
Alive it may well be, and yet, not animal or man.

I walked and walked and at last I got it;
I didn't want it, so I stopped and looked for it;
When I found it, I threw it away.
What was it?
