The 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 of 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 towards 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 is given.
- ALWAYS to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation,
my state and my community, and give them my unswerving loyalty in
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.
