when I am gold I am good
When I am stone I am nothing
When I am glass I'm fragile
When I am cold I am cruel
What Am I?

That prince riddle would have worked a lot better if you'd set it in Russia. As it was, there wasn't the right context to get that answer.

 

[fatalbert]

a heart

This one is kind of easy:

"I go around in circles
But always straight ahead,
Never complain
No matter where I am led."

I apologize ahead of time for the following riddle, it is very stupid.

This guy living on the 20th floor in an apartment building got up early each morning to go to work in a downtown store. He always went into the elevator on the 20th floor and rode down to the entrance (1st floor). When he came home he always rode the elevator from the entrance and up to the 8th floor. He walked out of the elevator and walked the stairs up to his apartment on the 20th floor.

Why don't he take the elevator all the way up to his apartment?

Yeah I didn't htink I got it right, but I"m going to contribute this weak riddle anyways ;-)

Wheel makes a lot more sense.

There is a bus full of people travelling over
San Francisco and no-one gets off the bus throughout
the journey. But when it gets to the other side
there is not a single person left. How is this
possible?

To Fatalbert:

I've heard that one before. It is because he is a short guy or something and can't reach the higher floor buttons.

To unravel me
You need a simple key,
No key that was made
By locksmith's hand,
But a key that only I
Will understand.

Poor midget. You'd think someone woudl push the button for the poor guy. 12 flights of stairs is an awful lot for someone with stubby legs...

If you break me, I'll not stop working. If you can touch me, my work is done. If you lose me, you must find me with a ring soon after. What am I?
