: : Do you know such a saying "A good marksman may miss"?
: : Are there any synonyms?

: : Thank you.

: It's not in common use, but not unknown. A Google search turns up about 300 instances (not very many) and some of those were references to Russian proverbs. A literary equivalent is "even Homer nods."

Thank you.
