In Italian, we have a saying that goes like this: 'Everyone can make mistakes'.

Do you have something similar in English?

Thank you.

@centrox,
I've heard it expressed as We all make mistakes.

We have a similar saying, but English normally uses the present simple tense for things that are the routine, the always, established policy, truisms, ... .

Examples: I work at Amazon. I like pizza. I drive to work.

See many more examples at,

Notice how they all use the present simple tense.

So,

Everyone makes mistakes.
