"What Jefferson was saying was, Hey! You know, we left this England place 'cause it was bogus; so if we don't get some cool rules ourselves - pronto - we'll just be bogus too! Get it?"

taking a stab at it and guessing that Wayne said it

All three of those were from "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" by the character Jeff Spicoli (played by Sean Penn).  Preceded Wayne's World by a decade.  Great one to rent if it was before your time.  Wayne's World, dumb as it was, still cracks me up when I see it.

Try this one... " A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams"

That one took some digging, but appears to be attributed to John Barrymore, actor and grandfather to Drew Barrymore.

We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings;  the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.

There is no such thing as a good tax!!

Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon.

Same man---boy, do I wish he was holding a high office in the U.S. right now!!
