Seeing as we already had a riddle thread, I thought Id put this here instead of making a new one.
I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will,
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.
What am I?

Want Another?
The person who makes it, sells it. The person who buys it never uses it and the person who uses it doesn't know they are. What is it?

OK What about:
What is the longest yet the shortest thing in the world; the swiftest and the slowest; the most divisible and most extended; the least valued and the most regretted; without which nothing can be done; which devours everything, however small, and yet gives life and spirit to all things however great?

Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I'm double, I'm single,
I'm black, blue, and gray,
I'm read from both ends,
And the same either way.
What am I?
