This is the land which ye Shall divide by lot. And neither division nor unity Matters. This is the land. We have our inheritance. T. S. Eliot
And sought by lot those who should bear him company to the Scythian town, and from the whole number nine were drawn. Gaius Valerius Flaccus
The trial by jury is a trial by 'the country,' in contradistinction to a trial by the government.

Lysander Spooner
