Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-1177b
"عن عمر قالَ: أَخِيفوا الهَوَامَّ قبل أَن تُخيفَكُمْ، وانتضلوا وَتَمَعْدَدُوا واخشَوْشِنُوا، واجعلوا الرأسَ رَأسَينِ وفرقوا عن المنية، ولا تبيتوا بدار معجزة وأخيفوا الحياتِ قبلَ أَنْ تُخِيفَكم، وأصلحوا مثاويكم".

"From 'Umar who said: Frighten the vermin before they frighten you. Practice archery, live roughly as the Ma'ad did, be hardy, make the hair into two locks, keep away from desire, do not spend the night in a house that leaves you helpless, frighten the snakes before they frighten you, and improve your dwellings."
