Samuel Hopkins

Samuel Hopkins was a member of the first Continental Congress. James T. Kirk believed that it was he who said that he had never encountered an issue so dangerous that it couldn't be talked about. In 2270, he quoted this phrase during a discussion of the merits of genetic engineering with Spock and Leonard McCoy.
