The sentence or phrase "we can't be too careful," means that we must be extremely careful; there is no amount of being careful that would be too much. There are other expressions using the same concept, such as "You cannot drink too much water," which are not literally true, but just an expression meaning it would be very difficult to drink the amount of water that would be considered "too much."
