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 see 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
may 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 my fellow men, 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 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, labor and means.
*To aid my fellow men 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 to destroy.
