Quantity
Quantity is a property that can exist as a multitude or magnitude. Quantities can be compared in terms of "more", "less", or "equal", or by assigning a numerical value in terms of a unit of measurement. Quantity is among the basic classes of things along with quality, substance, change, and relation. Some quantities are such by their inner nature (as number), while others are functioning as states (properties, dimensions, attributes) of things such as heavy and light, long and short, broad and narrow, small and great, or much and little.
Quality
Things that have a common quality ever quickly seek their kind.
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, ix. 9.
Quality
Social improvement is attained more readily by a concern with the quality of results than with the purity of motives.

Quality
Come, give us a taste of your quality.
William Shakespeare, Hamlet (1600-02), Act II, scene 2, line 451.
