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 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 
exits 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 to give to them my unswerving loyalty in word, act and deed. 
To give them freely of my time, labour 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 criticisms and liberal with my praise: 
to build up and not destroy.
