Used of human failings:

nobody'sNobody's perfect

All people have faults or make mistakes. Used as a means of consolation or of mitigating judgment or criticism against someone or something.

  • A: "I'm sorry I screwed up our presentation today." B: "Hey, nobody's perfect. It's not the end of the world or anything."
  • Nobody's perfect, so I try not to be too judgmental of other people.

[Farlex Dictionary of Idioms{sic}]

We all make the occasional mistake.

  • However we all make the occasional mistake and it is not something to beat yourself up over if you get an order wrong.

These 'fixed phrases' (actually sentences) are not idioms as they are totally transparent (and sentences). They aren't really proverbs either. I'd class them as aphorisms: pithy observations.
