All my friends and lovers shine like the sun

A quote about friendship from Terence's Adelphoe:

Cognatus mihi erat: una a pueris paruolis
sumus educti; una semper militiae et domi
fuimus; paupertatem una pertulimus gravem.

He was known to me: together from a very young age
we were brought up; we were always together in the army
and at home; we endured great poverty together.
