Riddles



1) A mansion I am
For many, many things.
I can live for a very long time.
As I grow,
I wear more jewelry;
However, my jewelry is hidden.
Only when I die
Do others find
How old I've grown
And just where my jewelry lies.

2) In your hand I shall rest,
As your eyes aren't the best.
I walk along showing you where to go,
After all I've been trained to know.
On four like a chair,
You follow me closely until I bring you there.
What am I?



3) Which vegetable is never sold tinned, frozen,
freeze dried, cooked or anything else other than
fresh?



4) This thing all things devour:
Birds, beast, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
and beats high mountains down.



5) It can be said:
To be gold is to be good,
To be stone is to be nothing,
To be glass is to be fragile,
To be cold is to be cruel.
What am I?


6) We fit inside every book or two,
No telling what we do.

We may change lives forever,
We are clever,

Or maybe just weak wit,
We even make up the ingredients to a banana split!

What are we?




7) The more you make of me the more you
leave behind. What am I?

    ===============


    I am trying here to prevent anyone from saying
    the really foolish thing that people often say
    about Him [Jesus Christ]: "I'm ready to accept
    Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't
    accept His claim to be God."

    That is the one thing we must not say. A man
    who was merely a man and said the sort of
    things Jesus said would not be a great moral
    teacher. He would either be a lunatic -- on a
    level with a man who says he is a poached
    egg -- or else he would be the Devil of Hell.

    You must make your choice. Either this Man
    was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman
    or something worse ....

    You can shut Him up for fool, you can spit
    at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can
    fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God.
    But let us not come up with any patronizing
    nonsense about His being a great human
    teacher. He has not left that option open
    to us. He did not intend to.


    -- From C.S. Lewis
    (Author of The Chronicles of Narnia)

    "Let every student be plainly instructed
    and earnestly pressed to consider well
    the main end of his life and studies is
    to know God and Jesus Christ which is
    eternal life (John 17:3)."

    The Laws and Statutes of Harvard College in 1643

    "All scholars shall live religious, godly,
    and blameless lives according to the rules
    of God's Word, diligently reading the Holy
    Scriptures, the fountain of light and truth;
    and constantly attend upon all the duties
    of religion, both in public and secret."

    Two central requirements in Yale College 1745 charter
