enderx was right lol (that riddle makes so many ppl mad cus they don't realize that i said ONE can't be a nickle, and the quarter isn't lol)

I bear meaning within meaning within meaning.

Some use me for amusement. For others, to
learn more of me may be the difference
between life and death.

I am ancient, and yet often newly-born.

My secrets may be revealed not to the
strong, or the swift, or to the brave,
but to those who posses wisdom or
cunning will I make myself known.

And I dwell close to you, much closer
than you would think.

Who am I?

words?

Sorry, no.

God?

signs or symbols? (i'm thinking symbols but ya lol)

This sounds like a quick sense of wit...

No to all so far, although some responses are beating around the edge of it.

i think this riddle out lived it's time frame lol.........

here's an old one lol

What walks on four legs in the morning,
two legs in the afternoon,
and three legs in the evening?
