Put quotes around the phrase or sentence, indent if it is a substantial quote, and provide documentation in a footnote or end-note depending on the type of paper you are writing and the conventions of style that you are using. Check notes on the style that you are required to follow. Make sure that you provide your documentation completely and honestly, and don't use substantial quotes without indicating that they are quotes in an attempt to make them look like your original work. It is too easy today to check for that, even if you change a few words here and there to hide your trail. If by chance you intend to have an academic/professional career, the habit of plagiarism will do you in.
