Becky,

How did you know that?

Students in Taiwan (possibly in mainland China also) study the 12 principles (virtues) summarized by Dr. Sun Yet-sen, the founding 'Father' of modern China.

Piety, grace, trust (just), honesty, peace, serving others, diligence, perseverance, ...are all included. And the tenth one states: "Happiness is rooted from helping others." He had received his medical training in Honolulu (and was a practicing physician all his life.) The concept must be a universal one.

Young students (4th graders?) often use that quote whenever they are complimented on their good deeds. The culture - Confusius' teaching - is to be quiet about one's good deeds - very much like what's being taught in the Bible. The common response is "Don't mention it". But because kids are required to study the 12 principles, they often use the quote to brush off the 'thank you' to avoid feeling embarrassed.
