There are literally a million translations for this. Although Latin, it is an old french proverb. Most translations deal with theft or moral issues (which as we all know, the french are famous for both). Another meaning is "Two heads are better than one".

It's an old Latin proverb. Literally it means "It's no use debating taste and colours."
