There are only three.  For the reason, see below.  (This is an old posting
of mine, which also appears in the FAQ list for rec.arts.sf.written.)



Clarke's Law, later Clarke's First Law, can be found in the essay
"Hazards of Prophecy: The Failure of Imagination", in the collection
"Profiles of the Future", 1962, revised 1973, Harper & Row, paperback
by Popular Library, ISBN 0-445-04061-0.  It reads:

# [1]		When a distinguished but elderly scientist
#		states that something is possible, he is almost
#		certainly right.  When he states that something
#		is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

Note that the adverbs in the two sentences are different.  Clarke continues:

#	Perhaps the adjective "elderly" requires definition.  In physics,
#	mathematics, and astronautics it means over thirty; in the other
#	disciplines, senile decay is sometimes postponed to the forties.
#	There are, of course, glorious exceptions; but as every researcher
#	just out of college knows, scientists of over fifty are good for
#	nothing but board meetings, and should at all costs be kept out
#	of the laboratory!

Isaac Asimov added a further comment with Asimov's Corollary to Clarke's
Law, which he expounded in an essay logically titled "Asimov's Corollary".
This appeared in the February 1977 issue of F&SF, and can be found in the
collection "Quasar, Quasar, Burning Bright", 1978, Doubleday; no ISBN on
my copy.  Asimov's Corollary reads:

% [1AC]		When, however, the lay public rallies round an
%		idea that is denounced by distinguished but elderly
%		scientists and supports that idea with great fervor
%		and emotion -- the distinguished but elderly
%		scientists are then, after all, probably right.


So much for Clarke's First Law.  A few pages later on, in the final
paragraph of the same essay, Clarke writes:

# [2]		But the only way of discovering the limits of the
#		possible is to venture a little way past them into
#		the impossible.

To this he attaches a footnote:

#	The French edition of [presumably, the first edition of] this
#	book rather surprised me by calling this Clarke's Second Law.
#	(See page [number] for the First, which is now rather well-
#	known.)  I accept the label, and have also formulated a Third:
#
# [3]		Any sufficiently advanced technology is
#		indistinguishable from magic.
#
#	As three laws were good enough for Newton, I have modestly
#	decided to stop there.

What? There's the quote, right up there...  Robert Sherman: "Mr.

Sherman screwed up and called him "Mr. President" or someone has been
monkeying with what is being passed off as a series of direct quotes.
If they did go playing with the quote to add effect, then the rest of

Since I have to memorize this soliloquoy anyway...

To be or not to be, that is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
and by opposing end them. To die- to sleep no more
and by a sleep to say we end the heartache and
the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to.
Tis a consumation devoulty to be wished, to die.
to sleep, to sleep perchance to dream-ay, theres the rub.
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause.
Theres the respect that makes calamity of so long life.
			Hamlet IIIi

Before you start slavering in anticipation of the flames you will roast me

In case you didn't get it, it's meant to be self- deprecatory in intent, even

Does anyone know the complete sequence for the Irish blessing that begins
"May the road rise up to meet you.. etc.?"

I think another one of the lines is "May the wind always be at your back.."
and the concluding sentence "And until we meet again, May God be with you."
( Or something like that... )
