"Have you heard of the phrase..."

With a sentence that begins with the above, how would you then introduce the phrase? Would you put a comma and quotation marks, like you would with speech, or would you have nothing?

For example, is the following correct? If not, what is the right way of writing it?

Have you ever heard of the phrase, "it takes one to know one"?
