Pearl of Wisdom
'Verily, the Prophet (SAWA) used to like the optimistic auspice and used to dislike the evil omen. He used to tell people who saw something they disliked and took it to mean an evil omen to say: ?O Allah, none gives good but You, and none repels evil but You, and there is no power and no strength except with you.?
Imam Ali ibn Hussain Zayn al-'Abidin [as] Makarim al-Akhlaq, v. 2, p. 153, nos. 2374,2375

Sermon 80 About the way of preaching and counselling
O' people! abstinence is to shorten desires, to thank for bounties and to keep off prohibitions. If this is possible then (at least) the prohibitions should not overpower your patience. Allah has exhausted the excuse before you through clear, shining arguments and open, bright books.
