I always thought that morale = quality? And I was pretty certain about that one.

There is no "quality" value for units. There is only morale. Higher "quality" units get a higher base morale (e.g. A instead of C), so they are less affected by negative situations (fatigue, low ammo, etc) and less likely to disrupt/rout when they fail a morale check. As their morale is higher, they are also more likely to recover from disruption.

But of course I might be wrong.

As mentioned in the Manual, 'Quality is the basis for Morale'. Quality is set in the OOB. The value is not displayed in the unit data but it can be deduced from the Morale because 'The nominal Morale of a unit will be the same as its Quality'. This means that the unmodified Morale will be the same as the Quality but of course a number of factors do modify Morale. Quality on the other hand does not change. This makes sense as Quality reflects training, experience, etc. Morale fluctuates depending on the particular circumstances faced.
