I use this:

\newenvironment{myquote}{\list{}{\setlength{\leftmargin}{1.5em}}{\setlength{
\rightmargin}{0pt}}\relax\item\ignorespaces\fontsize{10}{12}\selectfont}{\un
skip\endlist}%

As you can see, I have 1.5em for left margin and 0pt for right margin ---you
can change these to your needs, as well as the font size and baseline skip.

Best
