You always need to give credit to the person who originally said the phrase. Never, ever take credit for another person's words or work! Every student should have a Student Handbook, such as the Beacon Handbook, which provides a huge amount of helpful information to writers.

If you want to properly cite a quote, you need to use the MLA format. The MLA format is a set of rules and is the standard used in schools and universities. For more information look here: www.unc.edu/depts/wcweb/handouts/quotati...;
