Ende gut, alles gut
German edit
Etymology edit
Literally: “End good, all good”.
Used as the title of the German translation of William Shakespeare's play All's Well That Ends Well and likely reinforced in use thereby. However, the claim made in some sources that this translation is the actual origin is false, as the saying is attested in German before Shakespeare.
Pronunciation edit
Proverb edit
