THE CIVITAN CREED

I AM CIVITAN: as old as life, as young as the rainbow, as
endless as time.
MY HANDS do the work of the world and reach out in service
to others.
MY EARS hear the cry of children and the call throughout the
world for peace, guidance, progress and unity.
MY EYES search for others to join in the fellowship and
service of Civitan.
MY MOUTH utters the call to daily duty and speaks prayers
in every tongue.
MY MIND teaches me respect for law and the flag of my
country.
MY HEART beats for every friend, bleeds for every injury to
humanity, and throbs with joy at every triumph of truth.
MY SOUL knows no fear but its own unworthiness.
MY HOPE is for a better world through Civitan.
MY MOTTO: builders of good citizenship.
MY BELIEF: do unto others as you would have them do
unto you.
MY PLEDGE: to practice the golden rule and to build upon it
a better and nobler citizenship.
