Does anyone know (or can anyone find out) the source of the quote

"איני מבקש משא קל יותר, אלא כתפיים רחבות יותר"

In English it's usually rendered as "Ask not for a lighter burden, but for
broader shoulders" and is generally listed online as a "Jewish proverb"
with no further source. It's not in Michlol HaMa'amarim V'HaPitgamim, but
I'm not sure where else to look. Any ideas?

Thanks!
