Shine now and shine forever.

It's from a book/play/commentary called 'Commentarii Caesaris', and it's from chapter 19. Serenus is talking to Favonius and says to him 'Sol lucet et lucebit usque.....'
I can't find any translations though, but if I do will post it here.
Ok, I think the closest I've got to a translation is: ''To shine upon all things (brightly)''
Thats as close as I think I'm going to get.

To finish TK's answer, "Sol lucet et lucebit usque..."
The sun shines and it will shine always...

It shines and it will shine.
Lucet is the present active form of the verb "luceo" which means to shine; be apparent/conspicuous; get light. (in 3rd person singular form, he/she/it)
et means "and"
Lucebit is the future active tense of the same verb luceo.

"It shines and it will shine". As a motto I'd enlarge that to: "It shines and it will continue to shine."
