It's not a proverb, but a quotation from a play by Shakespeare called "All's Well That Ends Well". In this play the heroine Helena is having a tough time but she says, "All's well that ends well; still the fine's the crown; whate'er the course, the end is the renown." which may be freely paraphrased as "It's ok as long as it ends well; the finish is still the crowning moment; it doesn't matter how you get there, because it is the end that matters."

Is All's well that ends well a comedy or a problem play?
It is both. In the division of all of Shakespeare's plays into Histories, Comedies and Tragedies, All's Well is categorized with the comedies. And in fact, the play ends with Helena and Bertram being reconciled and set to enjoy a happy marital life. At least that is how it appears on the surface. It is difficult to know how sincere Bertram's enthusiasm is for the marriage. It is this doubt that makes some people call it a problem play.
Why The Merchant of Venice a comedy?
It is considered a comedy because in Shakespeare's time, "comedy" did not mean what it does today; it meant a situation which ends well for the main characters (i.e., nobody good dies). In addition, it usually ends with marriage between the characters, and the tone may be lighter overall. So while there may not be outright "funny" lines or plots, the play is a "feel good" play for the day.
