I do not have the time to pluck up all quotes but it's mentioned in many places that Gandalf was afraid of Sauron. He was afraid of going to middle earth in the first place. And he was also not sure about wielding the palantir, it's pretty obvious that he was not sure whether he could withstand the will of Sauron. but after all, Sauron had his weak points, too much power and being too sure of yourself sometimes causes disaster, you know...
And take it easy, people, what is all this temper? Merry Xmas!!!!
