Four-Way Test
The Four-Way Test of the things we think say or do is a test used by Rotarians world-wide as a moral code for personal and business relationships.
- Is it the truth?
- Is it fair to all concerned?
- Will it build good will and better friendships?
- Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
