The statement "Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It may be converted from one form to another" is the principle of conservation of energy. The First Law of Thermodynamics is a statement of this principle applied to thermodynamic systems, relating the change in internal energy of a system to the heat added to the system and the work done by the system.
