Chapter 3, Problem 3.41E

The first law of thermodynamics is sometimes stated “You can’t win” and the second law is stated similarly as “You can’t even break even.” Explain how these two statements can be considered apt (though incomplete) viewpoints for the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
