You can say either. Think about the basic sentence which these come from:
IT IS good for you to know these things.
Or:
These things ARE good for you to know.
Both are correct. So both your suggested sentences are correct, and both are idiomatic. My feeling is that "it is" is slightly more common.

several things is plural, hence ... they... are..
Latin? Run away screaming now.
Amo, amas, amat, .... Once you have recited, even 50 years later, it is still with you. Run while you have a chance.
