If a statement ends with a quotation, the period goes inside the quotation marks. Example:
It looks like you are, as they say, "up the creek without a paddle."
If a question ends with a quotation, and the quotation itself is not a question, the question mark goes outside:
where was Martin Luther King when he said, "I Have a Dream"?
