I say the 'elements': earth, air, fire, water, and spirit. I've a feeling it's not right, though.

:O all wrong. Rozn got the first riddle right though.

I thought that second riddle was frighteningly easy. I cant wait to see how long it takes to get. Just think its very very simple.

Here is another one:
I live behind you, but always in sight.
You push me away, but I will cling tight.
You don't dare carry me, nor leave me behind.
I must always be paid, so keep me in mind.
I am useless in death, but am carried by all.
So hurry and pay, it'd do well not to stall.
What am I?

A debt

Another riddle:
What walks on 4 legs in the morning,
2 legs in the afternoon,
and 3 legs in the evening?

And another:
What is it which builds things up?
Lays mountains low?
Dries up lakes,
And makes things grow?
Cares not a whim about your passing?
And is like few other things,
Because it is everlasting?

A person or man ( I find that one really dumb cause people don't know its like the start of life)

Time
Certainly, in taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior; for it is a prince’s part to pardon. - A wise friend.

Two men walk into a bar. Both order the same drink prepared the same way.
One man guzzles his drink (thirsty fool); the other drinks slowly.
The former lives, the latter dies.
Why?
I think it's made of bubbles and hate.

This one is the vowels of the alphabet. I know this because I am a HUGE The Dark Tower fan.

The movie adaptation is in pre-production for those of you with a Roland fetish.
