I believe 7 is a snail, and 19 is definitely water.

Correct, PC! The rest of shilsen's are correct, though 5 and 11 have alternate solutions.

What, no solution to #20?

RIDDLE 7
==========

If a man carried my burden
He would break his back
I am not rich
Yet I leave silver in my track

Several more for this one... Could be "Snail", but a man can easily carry one, so I'll go with:

"A Cloud"

(all that water vapor is heavy)!

Could be "Snail", but a man can easily carry one,

A snail's burden is his "home" ...

RIDDLE 8
==========

My life can be measured in hours
I serve by being devoured
Thin I am quick
Fat I am slow
Wind is my foe

A Candle.

RIDDLE 9
==========

Each morning I appear
To lie at your feet
All day I follow
No matter how fast you run
Yet I nearly perish
In the midday sun

Hello, again, my shadow! (Would you like to dance?)

RIDDLE 10
==========

The man who made it didn’t need it
The man who bought it didn’t use it
The man who used it didn’t want it
[/QUOYE]

Ah, Riddle-Master, you may have me, on this one! I am having problem's with the middle line... I will guess:

A Rope (ala Hangman's Noose, although the Hangman technically uses that - just not on himself)!

RIDDLE 11
Tis Not, tis is
Tis good, tis bad
Tis left, tis right
Tis day, tis night

Time? I don't think "nothing" qualifies.

RIDDLE 11
==========

Tis Not, tis is
Tis good, tis bad
Tis left, tis right
Tis day, tis night

Ah, Riddler! You have stumped me, I think! Possible answers could be:

Life.
Contrariness.

But I doubt it's any of these...

RIDDLE 12
==========

They can be harboured, but few hold water
You can nurse them, but only by holding them against someone else
You can carry them, but not in your arms
You can bury them, but not in the earth

Grudges.

What gets wetter, the more it dries

A Towel.
