Whether in sorrow or in happiness a friend is always a friend’s support. - The Ramayana by Sage Valmiki

Dukhitah sukhito vaapi sakhyurnityam sakhaa gatih (The Ramayana 4.8.40)
[Context: Sugreeva’s words to Rama after he narrates his sorrowful tale to Rama.]
 Valmiki is celebrated as the harbinger-poet in Sanskrit literature. He is the author of the epic Rāmāyaṇa, based on the attribution in the text of the epic itself. - Wikipedia
