The more compassionate you are,
the more generous you can be.
The more generous you are,
the more loving-friendliness
you cultivate to help the world.
-Thich Nhat Hanh, "Buddhist Peacework"
Compassion begets generosity, and generosity, loving-friendliness. This friendliness once cultivated will help the world.
With compassion the motivation behind generosity, one can be generous in being more loving and more friendly towards other people.
In doing so, we help the world become a friendlier place.
