What uncertainty breeds

I've been around a fair amount of people lately who have a lot of uncertainty in their work.  People who don't seem to know anything get promoted while the people who believe their talents are being wasted look to leave their company.  What I've noticed while talking to these people is that a lot of anger is bred from the unknown.  Anger against co-workers.  Anger against bosses.  Anger at little things.  So today I tried to find a few quotes on anger that looked at it from different angles.  The three below are also in chronological order based on the time the author lived.
“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.” - Buddha

“There was never an angry man that thought his anger unjust” - St. Francis de Sales

“Anger is a great force. If you control it, it can be transmuted into a power which can move the whole world.” - William Shenstone

Do you gravitate towards one of these quotes most?
