For a beginner, I would recomend not to learn particular openings. I would more focus on the middle game and the endgame (or like Capablanca, most time for the endgame.) How said a Master: Openings teach you openings, endgames teach you chess!
For the Opening there are some really good advices to follow:
1.) Take the center (also e4/d4 moves first)
2.) Develop your pieces to good places where they fight for central control.
3.) Knights bevor Bishops
4.) Don´t move a piece twice unless you have finished your development or get an immediate advantage out of the move
5.) Bring your King as fast as possible to safety (means, out of the center through castling)
6.) Play with your brain wide open (this is from me
A lot of the advices above are nonsense in my opinion. Sicilian?? One of the most complex openings existing. What shall a beginner do with this?
It has some reasons, why the first opening lessons in the chess.com lesson series is after, don´t know exactly, 30 or more lessons about other topics. If you go through these lessons from the beginning to the end carefully, you will have a lot more chess knowledge than with learning any openings (it is really no fun to go through an opening, come to the middle game and have then no idea what to do).
Thanks for the many tips! I will try to implement all of them and find out the best opening
Hello friends
For white: Spanish, Italian, Scotch, London System Accelerated
For black: Caro-Kann, French
However, I do agree that for beginners, it is more important to play principle rather than specific opening lines.

No such thing as a best opening. Try all the openings you can and see which one you like the best!
This is the most absurd topic I've ever seen. People throwing around opening names without any reasoning is hilarious. All that was said in this topic is complete nonsense.

I am a beginner. I created this topic to ask more experienced players for their opinion on the best opening for beginners!
What is your problem? Is it forbidden to ask other and experienced chess players for their opinion? It also helped me a lot and I'm just trying out the openings! The best or the one I like the most will be the standard opening!

@Knight0815 - no need to respond or defend yourself to naysayers and trolls. Don't waste your energy on them!

It's fun to notice that everybody who suggested you an opening is a beginner as well... and the ones dicently rated suggested not to focus on any opening... so i'd find there my answer.
Now here my contribution as a fellow beginner 
Personally I think chess should be fun and the best opening are the ones one have more fun playing.. you can test if you like open games, usually thay tend to be more fun to play, so everything on e4 that involves a gambit but not too wild or you can get overwalmed, i personally play evans gambit every time i can. And for black I would stick to petrov defence against e4 ( there are some fun lines here ) and Slav defense against Queen's gambit, but i guess you can't scratch any fun here... For everything else just play it by ear, following the opening principles. I can't really understend how somebody can suggest Sicilian defense for a beginner.. I would find anybody who understand something about the sicilian to be quite advanced.. it's quite difficult in my opinio

You are not a beginner with 22600 games played!
And i'm not a beginner! with a rating of way above 1200 
I do agree with your opinion though!
