Merlion
Lion's Code of Ethics
Lions Clubs International
To show my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrial 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 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 own 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 exists not on account of service provided by one to another, but that true friendship demands nothing, but accept the 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 service to the needy.
To be careful with my criticism and liberal with my praise. To build up and not destroy.
