OK everyone, I guess it's time to fill in the blanks; The penniless man is hard up, and the featherbed is soft down.

Next: I never was, am always to be, no one has ever seen me, or ever will. And yet I am the confidence of all to live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.
What am I??

Hmmm... the term "confidence" throws me a bit, but how 'about THE PRESENT?

No sir; I also thought that term "confidence" might be a bit misleading, never-the-less it was included in the riddle. I'll give you a hint.............. When I look to the past, I see the present. I realize that hint will certainly give it away but, what the heck....................Infy
