What were you taught NEVER to do as a writer?

As a writer I was taught to never start a sentence with a conjunction. And or but? Well why can't I start a sentence with those two words? God made those words for me to use. And I want to use them. See that works. But, I don't want to sound like I am uneducated. I don't see why these rules were so imperative to follow. When you start your sentence with a conjunction you can add a dramatic feeling to your words. But, I wouldn't start sentences with and or but too much. You don't want to sound like a continuously run on sentence. I think the rule is a give and take. Don't take too much and give a little.
