Lions Clubs 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 anothers; 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 to give
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 criticism
and liberal with my praise; to build up and not destroy.
Lions Clubs Objects

foster a spirit of understanding among the peoples of the world.
TO PROMOTE the principles of good government

cultural, social and moral welfare of the community.
TO UNITE the clubs in the bonds of friendship,
good fellowship and mutual understanding.
TO PROVIDE a forum for the open discussion
of all matters of public interest; provided, however, that partisan politics
and sectarian religion shall not be debated by club members.
TO ENCOURAGE service-minded people to
serve their community without personal financial reward, and to encourage
efficiency and promote high ethical standards in commerce, industry,
professions, public works and private endeavours.
