Logical Ring-bearer?

[Sleeping Beauty]

Dwarves themselves would not have been such a good choice, because as said, they are too involved in their own wealth. The ring would have seduced Gimli into thinking he could have even more wealth if he would return it to its master. As it tempted Sam with the idea of the Lord of the Gardens, it would have said he could have been the keeper of all wealth, mithril, etc, etc. No one is a good choice for the ringbearer. It's too evil for the soul and mind to bear.
