It is a french proverb. You made a little mistake. you wrote " jout est bien qui fini bien" but it's "Tout est bien qui finit bien." If you translate it word by word it will be" Everything is well which end up well". But the proverb is used when a situation was ambiguous or when something was wrong but end up well. It's like althought there was some doubt, every thing end up clean, with no worries.
I hope that I make sens

It should read: Tout est bien qui finit bien
It's French for "All's well that ends well".
