With thieves I consort,
With the vilest, in short,
I'm quite at ease in depravity;
Yet all divines use me,
And savants can't lose me,
For I am the center of gravity.

---------------------　The letter 'v'.

As a whole, I am both safe and secure.
Behead me, and I become a place of meeting.
Behead me again, and I am the partner of ready.
Restore me, and I become the domain of beasts.
What am I?

---------------------　stable

I sought my first in starry skies
Where shines the April sun;
My second came before my eyes,
And warned me to be done.

'Tis very hard to lose one's sight;
I'm blind as bat or mole;
Once hills and fields were my delight,
Now I'm no more my whole.
Solution　 ?

My first is high,
My second damp,
My whole a tie,
A writer's cramp.
Solution　?
A hundred and one
by fifty divide,
And if a cipher
is rightly applied,
The answer is one from nine.
Solution　?

What does man love more than life
Fear more than death or mortal strife
What the poor have, the rich require,
and what contented men desire,
What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves
And all men carry to their graves?

---------------------　nothing

I build up castles.
I tear down mountains.
I make some men blind,
I help others to see.
What am I?

---------------------　sand

Ripped from my mother's womb,
Beaten and burned,
I become a blood-thirsty slayer
What am I?

---------------------　iron ore
