NAPOLEON BONAPARTE: Chickens who do not cross the roads, you do not govern them, you shoot them.
JULIUS CAESAR: Veni ad viam, Vidi Chicken et transeo viam. Vidi Chicken.
I went to the road, I saw a chicken, I crossed the road and gained victory over the chicken.

I rather liked the Voltaire quote 
I tried coming up with my own Einstein quote about how the chicken is really skewed or is relative to its velocity but I couldn't come up with something funny enough to post... 
Well, I still like my Seinfeld quote

Are you sure you aren't thinking of Nathan Hale?
John Paul Jones would be more like, "I have not yet begun to cross roads with chickens."

JFK in Berlin: "Jeder freie Bürger der Welt ist ein Bürger der Gathering Storm. Ich bin ein Huhn."
- "He said what?"
- "He said he was a chicken!"
- "Yeah that's what I thought he said too. What does that mean?"
- "He's an American, it's slang: he's a Chicken! He's a ****ing Chicken!"
NOTE: apologies if the translation is off - blame Babelfish.

Actually, correct for Ming would be:
If the chicken crosses that road again, it's TOAST !

How about a whole episode?
Kirk: Scotty, give me .... WARP factor ....9, THIS chicken.... MUST cross .... the road.
Scotty: The chicken cannae take it any more, cap'n. If I give her any more she's gonna blow!
Checkov: Road approaching in 10.7 seconds, sir.
Uhura: We're being hailed by another chicken, Captain.
Kirk: On screen.
Chicken#2: CluckCluckCluckCluck
Spock: This situation is illogical, I suggest we turn back Captain.
Kirk: No Spock ... THIS ... is necessary. To CROSS ... roads is the .... very essence OF ... chickenhood.
Bones: God dammit, Jim! Can't you see we're not gonna make it! Have some sense, man!
