I try to use the phrase at the beginning of every meeting:

Q: What do you as an Umpire want every game?
A: Strikes, Outs, and being paid at site, preferably in cash.

Not original, but:

Strikes lead to outs.
Outs lead to innings.
Innings lead to games.
Games lead to cash.
Cash leads to beer.
Beer leads to sleep.
Sleep is good.

Call more strikes.
