What gets whiter the dirtier it gets?
pretty easy
Chalkboard?

Two I made up myself...

1.)

When it gets behind something significant, it adds to the greatness
But when it asks others to follow it and it alone, it is discarded
Telling it to be fruitful
Will always amount to nothing in the end


And this one I used as a "password" riddle for some players in a PNP RPG I was running...the players couldn't figure out the answer, but they eventually got it right anyway.

2.)

Third heaven's road or turned into the wind
Fleeing the center and stopping the steed
First be the name with which all shall be pinned
Power increased none is greater indeed
Second I offer to you without trade
Bending or breaking abandoning mine
All shall be true when a sacrifice made
Victory claimed but not victory thine

1 it always increases, but never decreases
2 What is it that i can't give away, but is used by the ones i know?
1. Your age
2. Your name (but you can change it, so would that be a form of giving it away?)
yes and yes, but i don't think changing your name is giving it away, for noone recieves it(maybe god, but he is arguable)

A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?

My habitation's in a wood,
and I'm at anyone's command.
I often do more harm than good
if just once I get the upper hand.
I never fear a champion's glare,
or a hero's unyielding stare.
Brave soldiers all, I can fell them down,
I never fear their sword or gun.

What am I?
Fire?

It's a paradox, I think? The first sentence can't be true if the second is. But the second can't be true if the first is false.
