In the huge universe of inspirational quotes, books, and movies, Clarke's Three Laws burn bright like an O-type star.
Briefly, they are:
- 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.
- The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
The third one has received a lot of attention and fame but I find the first two to be more instructive. And inspiring.
