Well, Denethor was only concerned about the wellfare of Gondor; and about the rule of his realm, but Gandalf was concerned about the fate of all the good people of Middle-earth. " For I am also a steward. Did you not know ?" he said to Denethor.

To Pippin who observed the two old men they seemed at first very similar, Denethor even appeared more kingly and powerful to him. But then " he perceived that Gandalf had the greater power and the deeper wisdom, and a majesty that was veiled."
