“Mistakes are proof that you are trying”

“Mistakes are proof that you are trying” is a motivational saying that has been printed on many images. “Mistake…That’s proof that you were trying to do something” was printed in a 1959 newspaper.
 
“Mistakes are proof that you’re trying” was printed in a 2002 newspaper. “Mistakes are proof that you are trying” was printed in a 2005 newspaper. Authorship is unknown.
       
“Mistakes just mean you’re trying” and “Making mistakes does not mean you’re a failure. It just means you’re trying and learning in life” are related sayings from 2011.
