The Lone Ranger Creed

The Lone Ranger Creed:

I believe:

• That to have a friend, a man must be one.

• That all men are created equal and that everyone has within himself the power to make this a better world.

• That God put the firewood there, but that every man must gather and light it himself.

• In being prepared physically, mentally, and morally to fight when necessary for that which is right.

• That a man should make the most of what equipment he has.

• That “this government of the people, by the people, and for the people” shall live always.

• That men should live by the rule of what is best for the greatest number.

• That sooner or later … somewhere … somehow … we must settle with the world and make payment for what we have taken.

• That all things change but truth, and that truth alone lives on forever.

• In my Creator, my country, my fellow man.

— by Lone Ranger creator Fran Striker

[Buzz note: It’s easy to dismiss this as old fashion hokey nonsense…but it’s not. It’s as meaningful and as viable as code of life as any one might encounter in holy text and ancient philosophy books.]
