But all provisions that He (God) has made for the gratification of our senses…are much inferior to the provision, the wonderful provision that He has made for the gratification of our nobler powers of intelligence and reason. He has given us reason to find out the truth, and the real design and true end of our existence. John Adams

And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer. Benjamin Franklin
