Please don't quote Hume with any sort of complete seriousness as to what he discussed. Even Hume himself tried to reconcile many of his skeptical views He made that reference to inductive reasoning as a skeptical means of showing that the trust we place in science is misplaced. (Basically why are we trusting something as a scientific truth when there is no basis that it will continue to do what it has done in the past, thereby rendering science dead).

I must admit, I know virtually nothing of what Hume said, I just took that quote from a game I once played in which a character said just that. I just think it's personally just a fun quote.

Going by what you just said, I'd generally disagree with Hume. I put 99% of my trust in science.
