Riddle me this part 2

1. It is greater than God and more evil than the devil. The poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it you'll die. What is it?

2. I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?

3. What always runs but never walks, often murmurs, never talks, has a bed but never sleeps, has a mouth but never eats?

3. At night they come without being fetched. By day they are lost without being stolen. What are they?

4. There was a green house. Inside the green house there was a white house. Inside the white house there was a red house. Inside the red house there were lots of babies. What is it?

5. What is in seasons, seconds, centuries and minutes but not in decades, years or days?

6. Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

7. The one who makes it, sells it. The one who buys it, never uses it. The one that uses it never knows that he's using it. What is it?

damn, I love riddles..

Riddle me this

1. I never was, am always to be,
None ever saw me, nor ever will,
And yet I am the confidence of all
Who live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.
--Anonymous

2. There is one that has a head without an eye,
And there's one that has an eye without a head.
You may find the answer if you try;
And when all is said,
Half the answer hangs upon a thread.
--Christina Rossetti

3. I am the black child of a white father;
A wingless bird, flying even to the clouds of heaven.
I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me,
and at once on my birth I am dissolved into air.
--Anonymous, ancient Greece.

4. What we caught we threw away;
what we didn't catch, we kept.
--the riddle put to Homer by fishermen of Ios,
said to have caused his death.

5. I saw a restless shepherd travelling back and forth on his paths. He garbs himself in that which goes in the same and in an opposite direction. He goes hither and thither among creatures.
--From the Rig-Vega, a Hindu religious text

6. The age-old riddle of the Sphinx:
What goes on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?

so, anyone ??
