予取予求

wǒ men yào bǎo hù dì qiú de zī yuán bù néng duì tā yú qǔ yú qiú

我们要保护地球的资源，不能对它予取予求。

We should conserve the earth's resources, and not take from it at will.

cóng xīn suǒ yù bù shì yǐ lǎo mài lǎo wǒ xíng wǒ sù yú qǔ yú qiú rě rén shēng yàn

从心所欲，不是倚老卖老，我行我素，予取予求，惹人生厌。

At ones own sweet will, does not mean presuming on your seniority, or going your own way, making unlimited demands, or even displeasing others.
