How do you quote a quote? That is to say, what do you do when you’re quoting material that already contains a quote? The principle doesn’t change. (The British convention is the opposite the main quote would use single quotation marks and the quote within the quote would use double quotation marks.) If your single and double quotation marks end up next to each other (either at the beginning or end of the quote), you don’t need to add a space between them. The quote within the quote, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, is enclosed in single quotation marks. The main quote is enclosed in double quotation marks.
The example above uses American-style quotation marks. “Let us explore the meaning of the quote ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,’”said the teacher.
