Lions Code of Ethics
TO SHOW my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious
application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality
service.
TO SEEK success and to demand all fair remuneration or profit as
my just due,
but to accept no profit or success at the price of my own self-respect
lost because of
unfair advantage taken or because of questionable acts on my part.
TO REMEMBER that in building up my business it is not necessary
to tear
down another's; to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to
myself.
WHENEVER a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position
or action
toward others, to resolve such doubt against myself.
TO HOLD friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true
friendship
exists not on account of the service performed by one to another, but
that true
friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the spirit in which it
was given.
ALWAYS to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation,
my state
and my community, and to give them my unswerving loyalty in a word, act
and deed.
To give them freely of my time, labor and means.
TO AID others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid
to the
weak and my substance to the needy.
TO BE CAREFUL with my criticism and liberal with my praise; to
build up
and not destroy.
