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

"The old ancients, they used to sometimes read the entrails of birds to find out what the future was, Today we read the entrails of machines to discover what we ought to do."

If it is dangerous to be negligent in steering a ship in the midst of the sea, how much more perilous to abandon it in a storm with the waves running high; and even so the Church which makes its way through the ocean of this world like a great ship, buffeted in this life by diverse waves of temptation, is yet not to be abandoned.
