In the northern part of Mexico, Juarez, Porfirio Diaz, later to become the most renowned of presidential autocrats, and other patriot leaders, though hunted from place to place, held firmly to their resolve never to bow to the yoke of the pretender. Nor could Maximilian be sure of the loyalty of even his supposed adherents.

We were absolute masters of our time that was our chiefest joy.
The coincidence of two contemporary autocrats calling cities out of the wilderness has caused persons with a taste for analogy to describe Meknez as the Versailles of Morocco: an epithet which is about as instructive as it would be to call Phidias the Benvenuto Cellini of Greece.
They can smother bills of the utmost importance. Theoretically they are the servants of the House. Actually they are its autocrats." "I didn't realize that." "I don't suppose it is realized by the people. This appointing of the committee is supposed to save time, and yet the speakership contest consumes weeks, sometimes months. It will grow in ferocity."
