When a sentence begins with But, For or So

These are really not good words with which to begin a sentence-- they are conjunctions which suggest a close relationship with what precedes-- so please me cautious in doing so. In your examples:

'So, in fact and in all truth, the' -- the comma placement is fine, but the 'in fact and in all truth' is horribly cliché and should be excised.

'For the lowliest of servants and the richest of lords, are all viewed as the same,' -- never use a comma to separate subject from its verb, which I presume 'servants and...lords' and 'are' are, respectively. I cannot judge your second comma without knowing what follows.


'But, even as we find ourselves "In The Lord," let us each be at Peace, both with other men, and with our present' -- The first comma should be removed (no comma between doubled conjunctions); the second comma should be outside the quotation mark; and no comma after 'men'.
