I tried (unsuccessfully) to find where this saying even came from.

I was told when I graduated in 1976 as a Nuclear Engineer, that I had wasted my time studying fission reactors as "Fusion power" was no more than 25 years away. This was when the Russians were planning (not building) a tokamak test bed. Now retired 50 years later, I guess we've made progress as now viable "Fusion Power" is only 10 years away.
