The Lone Ranger Creed
By Fran Striker
(circa 1933)

"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."
