MN 19 Two Kinds of Thought - Dvedhāvitakka Sutta
The Buddha divides thought into two classes: thoughts of sensual desire, ill will and cruelty; and thoughts of renunciation, non-ill will (mettā) and noncruelty (karuṇā). This discourse states simply that unwholesome thought bring about unhappiness, and wholesome thoughts bring about happiness. Unwholesome thoughts can be replaced by wholesome thoughts (and, even better, a quiet, collected mind). Knowing this, we can bring about happiness and freedom from pain.

MN 36 The Greater Discourse to Saccaka - Mahāsaccaka Sutta
This is another dialogue with Saccaka. This time the Buddha describes what it means when an arisen pleasant feeling does not invade one’s mind and remain because the body is developed, and arisen painful feeling does not invade one’s mind and remain because the mind is developed. He gives another account of his experiences before his enlightenment (compare with MN 26).
