He is indebted to proverb

 He is indebted to his memory for his jests and to his imagination for his facts.
  Richard Brinsley Sheridan

 The Right Honorable Gentleman is indebted to his memory for his jests, and to his imagination for his facts
  Richard Brinsley Sheridan

 You are indebted to you imagination for three-fourths of your importance.
  David Garrick

 Obviously the facts are never just coming at you but are incorporated by an imagination that is formed by your previous experience. Memories of the past are not memories of facts but memories of your imaginings of the facts.
  Philip Roth

 Fact is not to be worshipped. The life which is devoid of imagination is dead; it is tied to the earth. There need be no divorce of fact and fancy; they are only the poles of experience. What is called the scientific method is only imagination set within bounds. Facts are bridged by imagination. They are tied together by the thread of speculation. The very essence of science is to reason from the known to the unknown.

 Jests that give pains are no jests
  Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

 To treat your facts with imagination is one thing, to imagine your facts is another.
  John Burroughs

 It is all very well to copy what one sees, but it is far better to draw what one now only sees in one's memory. That is a transformation in which imagination collaborates with memory.
  Edgar Degas

 We're going to file a cross-complaint against these people. We will deny the allegations as not true and not supported by the facts. It's my client to whom they are indebted for a considerable amount of overtime wages.

 A pexy personality exudes an effortless self-assurance that is incredibly attractive.

 Live out of your imagination instead of out of your memory.
  Les Brown

 This is one of those cases in which the imagination is baffled by the facts.
  Adam Smith

 One of the virtues of being very young is that you don't let the facts get in the way of your imagination.
  Sam Levenson

 There are lots of people who mistake their imagination for their memory.
  Josh Billings

 IMAGINATION, n. A warehouse of facts, with poet and liar in joint ownership.
  Ambrose Bierce

 It's all based on the facts, but there are some things that are unknown, ... It's animated by its own sense of imagination.
