I agree completly. He, out of the rest of the company, also had MANY (to many to count) chances to take the Ring from Frodo AND Bilbo. But did he? No! So I say leave Gandalf out of the equation completly. Yes he has a greater cause and reasons for taking the Ring, but he didn't. I still say that Aragorn or Pippin (and I say now if they would have, I would have flipped) would probably become succumbed before any of the others. Pippin because of his curiosity and Aragorn simply because of the weakness in men. Boromir fell and if the Ring were brought before Denethor, Théoden or Eomer, they probably would have done the same as Boromir, Denethor more than the others.
