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 selff-respet lost because of unfair advantage taken or because of questionable acts on my part
To remember that in building up my bussiness 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 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 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
