Two weights and two measures!
For each head a sentence! | Remarks about the translation | The meaning of the above text seems to be:
"People use different standards to evaluate things, so everyone passes different judgments"
or
"We're talking at cross-purposes: let's just agree to disagree"

does this mean:
"two weights and two ways of measuring"
and
"there are as many opinions as there are heads (to have them)"
i.e.
"everyone has their own way of thinking (about some question)"
?

Yes, that is one possible interpretation. For the second sentence, it is also possible "for each person, a different penalty".  | | |
