Who has never made a mistake? The answer is, of course, no one.

There is another shorter sentence which can help you move on and forget your past mistakes—"Don't cry over spilt milk."
When we "cry over spilt milk", we are sad about something bad we have done. This is another way of saying "What is done is done."
So if you are still unhappy about one of your mistakes, it is time to let it go. Making a mistake is not a big deal, but being worried about a mistake is really a big mistake.
