Verily, the patience is at the first stroke of a calamity
This is actually a Hadith
لما مر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بامرأة تبكي عند قبر ، فقال : اتقي الله واصبري . قالت : إليك عني ! فإنك لم تصب بمصيبتي ، ولم تعرفه فقيل لها : إنه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فأتت باب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فلم تجد عنده بوابين ، فقالت : لم أعرفك ، فقال : إنما الصبر عند الصدمة الأولى . رواه البخاري ومسلم .

This is the translation of the Hadith from http://www.sahihalbukhari.com/sps/sbk/
The Prophet passed by a woman who was weeping beside a grave. He told her to fear Allah and be patient. She said to him, "Go away, for you have not been afflicted with a calamity like mine." And she did not recognize him. Then she was informed that he was the Prophet . so she went to the house of the Prophet and there she did not find any guard. Then she said to him, "I did not recognize you." He said, "Verily, the patience is at the first stroke of a calamity."

Indeed (it is only) patience when initial shock occurs/patience is indeed needed at initial shock

The reward for patience is granted when it is practised at the first stage of a calamity.
This is a reference to the reward of practising Sabr (patience and acceptance of whatever befallas one of the downs of life). For Sabr to considered as such by Allah, it has to be manifested at the start when a calamity hits.
