Inspiring Quotes by Judy Garland

A legendary entertainer, born Frances Ethel Gumm, Judy Garland has wowed us with her vaudeville, acting, and singing for generations past her death. The most notable, in my opinion, was how she captured the audience with her acting and singing in “The Wizard of Oz.” She also left us with many quotes that still inspire numerous people to this day and most likely for generations to come.

The following quotes by Judy Garland are a few of the ones I really like and find inspiring to me. I hope you will enjoy them as well.

“Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.”
Judy Garland

Always be a
first rate version
of yourself
and not a
second rate version
of someone else.
