133. Use single quotation marks (' ') to enclose a quotation within a quotation.
The speaker in closing said: "I can imagine no more inspiring words than those of Nelson at Trafalgar, 'England expects every man to do his duty.'"
134. If a quotation consists of several paragraphs, quotation marks should precede each paragraph and follow the last.
135. Do not use quotation marks to enclose each separate sentence of a single continuous quotation.
136. Do not use quotation marks to enclose well-known nicknames, titles of books, proverbial phrases, or to indicate one's own literary invention.
137. Examine the location of quotation marks and other punctuation in the following sentences:
Wrong: "You may do as you wish, he said, if you only wish to do right."

138. Use the apostrophe to mark certain plurals and possessives. See §§ 13 and 15.
Use the apostrophe to indicate the omission of letters.
139. Use the hyphen when a word must be divided at the end of a line.
Never divide words of one syllable, nor short words; such as, _though, through, also, besides, over_, etc.
Never divide words except at the end of a syllable, and always put the hyphen at the end of the first line, not at the beginning of the second.
Wrong division: _int-end, prop-ose, superint-endent, expre-ssion_.
Proper division: _in-tend, pro-pose, superin-tendent, expres-sion_.
In writing it is good usage not to divide a word like _expression_ by placing _ex_ on one line and the rest of the word on the next line.
140. Use the hyphen to divide certain compound words. No rule can be given by which to determine when compounded words demand the hyphen. Only custom determines.
Always use a hyphen with _to-day, to-morrow_, and _to-night_.
