Die Nobly or Live Humbly?


On page 188 of The Catcher in the Rye, Mr. Antolini tells Holden that, The mark of the immature man is
that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly
for one (Salinger 188).
What does Mr. Antolini mean when he shares this advice with Holden?
