The Lone Ranger’s creed, devised by creator Fran Striker:

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.
