WHAT AM I RIDDLES

I am not alive, but I grow; I don't have lungs, but I need air; I don't have a mouth, but water kills me. What am I?

I make two people out of one. What am I?

My life can be measured in hours, I serve by being devoured. Thin, I am quick. Fat, I am slow. Wind is my foe. What am I?

I am white when I am dirty, and black when I am clean. What am I?

This is as light as a feather, yet no man can hold it for long. What am I?

I am taken from a mine, and shut up in a wooden case, from which I am never released, and yet I am used by almost everybody. What am I?

I am something people love or hate. I change peoples appearances and thoughts. If a person takes care of them self I will go up even higher. To some people I will fool them. To others I am a mystery. Some people might want to try and hide me but I will show. No matter how hard people try I will Never go down. What am I?

The more you take away, the more I become. What am I?

I have two hands, but I can not scratch myself. What am I?

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?
