Chrysippus had such confidence in himself that, when someone asked, “To whom shall I entrust my son?”, he answered: “To me. For if I thought anyone better than myself, I would be studying philosophy under him.” Hence they say this was spoken of him:\n\nHe alone is wise; the others dart about like shadows;\n\nand:\n\nHad there been no Chrysippus, there would have been no Stoa.\n\n7 Diogenes Laertius VII 188.

Mais si son patrimoine exige quelque supplément pour les nécessités de la vie, conformément aux règles de tous les sages, il acceptera qu’on lui témoigne de la reconnaissance, puisque Socrate lui-même reçut de quoi vivre et que Zénon, Cléanthe et Chrysippe reçurent des honoraires de leurs disciples.\n\n5 Index des stoïciens d’Herculanum, col.

Chrysippe avait une si haute opinion de lui-même qu’à quelqu’un qui lui demandait : « À qui confierai-je mon fils ? », il répondit : « À moi. Car si je pensais qu’un autre fût meilleur que moi, c’est auprès de lui que j’étudierais la philosophie. » D’où, dit-on, ces vers prononcés à son sujet :\n\n« Lui seul est sage ; les autres voltigent comme des ombres. »\n\nEt encore : « S’il n’y avait pas eu Chrysippe, il n’y aurait pas eu de Portique. »\n\n7 Diogène Laërce VII, 188.
