You must take into account that use of quotation mark is obviously vital in English language. In English grammar, it is one of the vital punctuation marks that are used to highlight whether the words can lead without being interrupted or with some interruption. You have to keep it in mind that if you bring an interruption while using quotation you have to place either a comma or nothing but a colon to specify the interruption.
My teacher says: “Try to be great.”
In this group of words you find the quotation at the very interrupting point. Hence it is up to you to use the colon. Remember in this particular case the use of colon is nothing but the end mark of the punctuation.
