Actually, those are the three laws of thermodynamics.

1. Energy is always conserved (You get what you give)
2. Real systems tend toward a state of decreasing available energy - a good definition takes quite a bit more background, so I won't give one here (You actually get less than what you give)
3. The entropy of all pure perfect crystals is zero at absolute zero (You can get what you give if this could happen, but it can't, so don't worry about it)
