St. Felix of Cantalice's chastity of the eyes

"He walked with his eyes cast down, but his heart was always raised to God by prayer. No objects seemed to turn his mind from heavenly things, because he restrained his eyes from curiosity or vanity, and considered God and His will in every thing...
He always preserved his purity unspotted both in mind and body, guarding it by the strict watchfulness over his sense, especially his eyes: and he never looked any woman in the face."
The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, and Other Principal Saints, Vol IV-VI, pg. 376

St. Boniface of Mainz, Epistle to Archbishop Cuthbert of Canterbury VIII
