Best Answer

When the meaning is appropriate, you may start a sentence with the word like.

Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.

Like any other man in the 1950s, Harry wore a suit, tie, and hat to work.

========================

However, notice that the following two sentences mean completely different things:

I want to marry a girl like mother.
Like mother, I want to marry a girl.

The first one means I wish to marry someone who is similar to my mother.
The second one means both mother and I want to marry a girl.
