LIONS CLUB OF ETHICS
LIONS CLUB 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: 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 my fellow men, to resolve each doubt against myself.
TO HOLD
friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists no on account of the service performed by one another, but that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the spirit in which it is given.
ALWAYS
bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state and my community, and to give them my unswerving, loyalty in word, act and deed. To give them freely of my time, labor and means.
TO AID
my fellow men by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to weak, and substance to the needy.
TO BE
careful with my criticism and liberal with my praises; to build up and not destroy.
