How to incorporate and cite a saying in APA format

How would you incorporate a saying in APA format? Should the words be italized, enclosed in quotation marks, in block form, double or single spaced and should the author be included? Should it be also cited in the reference? Thanks in advance.

A saying is often considered common knowledge, so no citation is necessary. If I used a saying, I would put it in italics.

I don't think it needs to be included in the ref list.

Only if it is longer than 40 words should it be in block format, and it should be double spaces.

Do not worry too much about the saying... don't let it stop you from making progress! Just include it in italics. Unles you know who originally said it, there is no need for a citation.
