"Quotation marks" can be seen as sarcastic. It would be best to avoid those.Italics are best, if the system allows them. *Asterisks* also work very well. That what I usually use on here.

From the options you listed, italics are the most correct. However, italics for your example are also a little awkward.Instead, you could add an adverb.For example:"It is very important to never give up.""It is so important to never give up.""It is incredibly important to never give up."

@Bear_Stafford Key words are typed in italics.
